Online Writing Marketplace?

Why not just say "The Web's Agora". That would be fine, I think. After all, John Paul II already describes the web as the modern day "Agora." Blogit -- to my mind -- is not just a marketplace, albeit a marketplace for writing. The Agora of ancient Greece was a marketplace cum forum where anyone can... Sign in to see full entry.

Where Is The Top 10?

I've been away from Blogit for less than a month and now I see a lot of changes in the index page. The right hand column no longer contains the top 10 blogs, and instead has random content shown on it with lists showing new writers and random blogs among others (I haven't seen all the...

I'm Back!

Hiya! I am back! For more than a week I wasn't able to visit Blogit to read and update my blogs (although I did manage to squeeze in a few notes). Now that I've finally moved into my new assignment and set up my internet connection, I can once more post and read your blogs. I will be posting the new... Sign in to see full entry.

Blog for a Smaller Waistline

Since February 25, I have been losing inches on my waistline. This became evident when I tried on one of my older pairs of pants this morning and it fit! When I went to the office, everyone was saying how I've grown thinner over the past two weeks. I couldn't tell them that over the past two weeks,... Sign in to see full entry.

If Blogit Were A Movie

If Blogit was a movie, what would be its setting? (a mental ward? a small town? a corporate office?) Who would be the main characters? Who would play the main characters? And what kind of movie would it be? (a comedy? a drama? a documentary?) What do you say? Sign in to see full entry.

Computer Errors In Haiku

What if computer errors flash on your screen in haikus, how would they look like? Here are some samplers: Three things are certain: Death, taxes and lost data. Guess which has occurred. The file you need might be very useful. But now it is gone. Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No... Sign in to see full entry.

Gender and the Time Factor: What Do You Think?

Does anyone know how many male and female bloggers are registered at Blogit? I can't tell by the names they use. I am asking the question since if females outnumber the males, then bloggers who wish to get more clicks should come up with blogs or even blog titles that would be tempting to them. I...

How Do Unupdated Blogs Remain On Top?

I am trying to figure out how Blogit writers get clicks even if they don't update their blogs. I see a lot of blogs in the "Most Popular Today" and the "Most Read Blogs In The Last Seven Days" that have not been updated in last five days at most. One reasonable hypothesis is the existence of a... Sign in to see full entry.

Constant Updates Is Not The Key

Notapoet once asked the question whether constant updates or well-timed updates can help one's blogs go up the ranking. I would tend to agree that "well-timed updates" can help one with the rankings but other factors have to be taken into consideration too. 1. Members that one has referred to Blogit...

Writing For Myself? Not Anymore!

When I started blogging, I had the idea that the exercise would be like "literary masturbation" -- one wrote for one's reading pleasure. But as I read other people's blogs and find more people reading mine and commenting on them, I also begin to gradually write for those same people and wait for... Sign in to see full entry.
